Ooh, good luck, JP! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Very impressed that your DD can watch television while feeding. DS just bobs back and forth giving me accusing looks because my breast didn't follow his head round as well as daddy's bottle!

Gardencentregroupie · 24/06/2016 15:35

jp I can see a line there. Hold on tight until Sunday morning if you can but it looks hopeful.

No news here. Weaning not going well. Up at 5 and let DD nurse watching paw patrol while I ignored her reading referendum stuff.

jpclarke · 24/06/2016 12:55

I think you are right Jooni, and I will only drive myself crazy if I got a negative. Thanks Jooni

Jooni · 24/06/2016 12:54

jp if you can hold off, I'd advise waiting until tomorrow morning or maybe even the morning after to test. Since hcg roughly doubles every 48 hours in a healthy pregnancy, you should see a clearer result by then if you are.

I totally understand your dilemma but I think if you test now with the digi and get a negative, you still won't really have that finality because you'll know that it could just be too early to pick it up. Waiting a day or two will make you feel more certain of the result either way. Best of luck!!

jpclarke · 24/06/2016 12:21

I bought some CB digital and I haven't peed since doing test this morning but I don't know whether to take one or just wait maybe until tomorrow or Sunday. In April when I had a chemical I got a faint on first response two days in a row and then a couple of days later took a digital to find it saying not pregnant so I am petrified of the same happening

Pumkinpie1 · 24/06/2016 09:55

Deff retest JP Fingers crossed

lullaby23 · 24/06/2016 08:36

i think i can see a faint line jp but am rubbish at interpreting the non digi ones, keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Jooni · 24/06/2016 08:13

jp, I definitely see a faint line! I think that's a faint positive - test again tomorrow or this evening maybe? Tentative congratulations! Smile

jpclarke · 24/06/2016 07:54

Is this a positive test? I took a relaxed approach this month so I don't know when I ovulated. Today is cd 30. I had a chemical in April so I am scared stiff.

What do you girls think? I am not sure how many dpo I am. But I got faint tests in April that ended in a chemical so I am a bit worried as a part from sore boobs when ds is feeding I have no other symptoms.

Sorry to hear that, JP. Good luck for next time. AF is here for me too, so I haven't been lucky this month either. At least my cycle seems fairly normal, I suppose.

My stats are:

Cineraria
41 (eek!)
DS 9 months
TTC#2
Cycle 1 (of trying properly)
Currently feeding DS 7 times a day including 3 overnight feeds.
Temping and using OPKs

Hi everyone (and welcome Cat), sorry for the radio silence for the last few days. Hope you're all doing well.

jp I'm really sorry - I know how disappointing it is to get a BFN when you're sure you've felt symptoms. You've done amazingly well breastfeeding until now, especially with an older one too - very inspiring!

I've been taking 1000mg Angus for about a week now, as well as a B-50 complex for the same length of time. I guess I won't find out if it's made a difference until the end of this cycle; I'm CD 13 right now and no real signs of anything happening. Temping has been a bit of a failure this month to be honest (keep forgetting/not enough sleep beforehand), so I don't think it's going to be a very good guide for me this cycle. I guess I'll go on CM and maybe crack out the OPKs when I start seeing changes.

One thing I have been having for about 4-5 days now is a sharp pulled muscle feeling in my lower abdomen/uterus area when tensing or making sudden movements, combined with a bit of back pain at times. Obviously I've googled this and obviously I got very excited that it might be round ligament pain (even though my last period was only like 10 days ago...), but I POAS this morning and BFN. Obviously. So no idea what that's about - probably pulled something cranking DD's carseat into the back of our 2-door hatchback Confused

My stats:

Jooni
Age 23 (I'm a baby!)
DD aged 9 months
TTC #2
Cycle 3
Taking Agnus Castus, B-50 complex and Vit C; charting fairly non-committally atm but aiming to start temping next cycle.
